Instincts drive him to reach for the ice first, his control of it fined tuned enough not to harm Allen in the entombment. Fire, he has to think about. Calculate. He could encase an army in ice and walk confidently among them knowing exactly how long he had before frostbite set in. Fire, on the other hand, was unforgiving. One wrong move and he could damage someone permanently. Dream or not, he would never take that chance.
